Across
- 4. rock that is formed by the weathered products of preexisting rocks that have been transported, deposited, compacted, and cemented
- 7. plate boundary where 2 plates move away from each other
- 12. process by which plate tectonics produces new oceanic lithosphere at ocean ridge
- 14. natural resource that can be replaced at the same or below rate at which the resource is consumed
- 17. rock formed by the alteration of preexisting, solid rock deep within the earth by heat, pressure, and/or chemically active fluids
- 19. a liquids resistance to flowing or the thickness of a liquid
- 20. process in which rock is broken down by chemical reactions
- 22. loose particles created by weathering and erosion of rock
- 23. concentration of heat in the middle capable of producing magma, which rises to earths surface
- 24. device that records ground movements caused by seismic waves as they move through earth
Down
- 1. rock formed by the crystallization of molten magama
- 2. plate boundary where 2 plates move past eachother in opposite directions
- 3. plate boundary where 2 plates move toward each other
- 5. the soft upper layer of the mantle below the lithosphere, lithospheric plates float on top of it
- 6. natural resource that is consumed faster or above the rate in which it is replaced
- 8. transportation of material by a mobile agent, such as wind, water, or ice
- 9. the point beneath earths surface where rock breaks under stress and causes an earthquake
- 10. point on the earths surface directly above the focus of an earthquake
- 11. natural occurring inorganic solid that has a structure and a definite chemical composition
- 13. the rigid outer part of the Earth, crust and upper mantle
- 14. natural occurring solid mixture of one or more minerals or organic matter
- 15. vibrations that travel through earth carrying the energy released during an earthquake
- 16. process in which rock is physically broken into smaller pieces
- 18. body of molten rock found at depth, including any dissolved gases and crystals
- 21. magma that reaches earths surface
